Olympic Park and Beyond
This easy 10mile circular cycle ride takes in the Olympic Park, Regents Canal, Lea Valley, Greenway and the Essex Way. After some historic sites in Whitechapel, we will follow CS2 to ABBA Voyage. Possible detour to the Three Mills Island with Georgian Mills. Then on to the former Olympic Park. Can see the View Tube, WW2 pillbox on Greenway plus the velodrome and mountain bike course. Lots of cafes in the park. Route continues via Lea Navigation including detour to Middx Beds & the Zen Buddhist monastery. We return via Here East and Victoria Park to the start. Good surfaced tracks throughout, no hills. Santander cycles can be hired at the start for people without a cycle.

Rides information
Our rides are highlighted by "RIDE". You don't have to be a member to join in and we're also always looking for new ride ideas. Contact our Rides Co-ordinator for further information.
There is no need to register beforehand for a ride unless this is specifically stated, most rides are "turn up and go".
If you haven't ridden with us before please read our Ride Guidance Notes.
Please note that for train assisted rides we often cannot publish times until about 2 weeks beforehand because of the need to check engineering works. Also sometimes our ride leaders do have to change dates/times/routes at reasonably short notice. Generally this website will be up to date and also details will be sent out to our email groups, but if in doubt contact the ride leader or our rides co-ordinator to check arrangements.
